BALL GIVEN BY THE EMPLOYEES AT THE
D.. d. & B. INSTITUTION.
The Annual Ball given by the employees
OF the D., d. & B. Institution to their
friends, which took place on Monday
night, far exceeded that of last year and
was the largest occasion of the kind that
Staunton has had since the opening ball OF
the Baldwin Augusta Fair given some
twelve years ago. 1t is estimated that
there were four hundred ladies and gentle
men present at the Institution Monday
night. The arrangements worked so per-
fectly that the affair went off with the
smoothness of we'll regulated machinery.
Tickets were issued and as each guest
arrived the ticket was taken in and in It's
place handsome white silk badge was
given, having printed on it in gold the
State coat of-arms and the inscription
I'd, D. & b. l., 1887" The invitation
cards were printed in gold as also were the
programmes. The following were the
managers:
Floor Managers-Messrs. M. B. Ober--
dorfer. o. R. Funston, Thos. Burke, G. G..
Gnoch, E. r. Moon. Alex Hartman.
Committee of observation-disclosures E. r.
Moon, John Young, Amos Hollar, A. a.
Long, Ed. Sheehan, j. W. McCambridge.
Committee of Reception-Misses M
Carwell, M. Stickley, E. V. Brinkley, P
Lawton.
Muslc-Prof. James McCambridge.
AS we have said, there were four
hundred persons, including those who
gave the ball, who were present, and we
have never seen in so large an assemblage
such perfect order Of arrangement and
such general pleasure given to the guests.
Among the invited guests present were
Mayor Yost, Hon. Edward Echols, Hon
A. B LighLner, Capt. John N. Opie, Col
w. L.. Bpmgardner, Capt. j. I. Long
Sup76 of the Water and Electric Light
Works. Capt. Samuel Cohn Commander
Augusta Fire Co., Messrs. Tams. Ober
dorfer, Crowle and others Of the City
Council, Lloyd Logan, Esq, of Winches-
| ter, Capt. J. M. Hardy, Capt. Jas. G. Mar
| quis and many more well known citizens
The use of the spacious hall and the
dered by the Principal, Capt. T. s. Doyle
| gave an amount Of space which could
/ have been secured nowhere else
in the city, and prevented un
comfortable crowding even with so large
d number Of guests. The dancing wa
kept up to the strains of the Institution
orchestra until late hour-when splen
did supper prepared by the employees fol
| their guests was partaken Of-and thel
resumed till A. M.
The ball was in all respects a credit t.
the Institution employees, and we are re
quested by them to publicly acknowledg
their indebtedness to the kind and volun
teered assistance of all the officers of tn
Institution, which added to its success
